DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! Shame on you! Shame on Trump and DHS!
“It feels like we were in fascist Germany, and it feels like they are going to put gas into the room and just let us die.”
Those are the words of a father detained with his three children at the Dilley detention center in Texas, the nation’s only ICE facility actively imprisoning immigrant families.
Sworn declarations recently made public describe children as young as 2 losing weight because they refused to eat the food – food other families found worms in. A 7-year-old was put on antipsychotics because of the psychological toll of detention. A 12-year-old with heart inflammation was denied medical care and fainted three times. Her mother said she was scared for her daughter’s life.
Don’t let the quieter headlines fool you. Inside Dilley, the cruelty hasn’t slowed. The medical neglect, the retaliation against parents who speak up… it’s all happening right now.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
